Trendy neighbourhoods in Amsterdam

Welcome to the new Amsterdam! Outside the centre, every area has its own special character. NDSM, set in a former shipyard, is one of Amsterdam's prime spaces for creativity and development, and there are also local hotspots in Oud-West or boutique chic in Oud-Zuid. These are just a few examples, each with its own charm. Creative spirits feel at home on the NDSM site, an original and rough-edged area that you reach by taking the free ferry from the back of Central Station. Popular among local residents is Oud-West. This is the home of our own Ramada Apollo Amsterdam Centre, the Rembrandt Park and ‘de Hallen’, which is an old tram depot that has been converted into a cultural and culinary hotspot. Oud-West and Oud-Zuid meet at the Vondel Park, which is like a garden for all Amsterdammers, full of picnickers, joggers and cyclists. From the Vondel Park you come to the broad avenues and monumental buildings of Oud-Zuid. This is the area where our two other Amsterdam hotels are located.
